I used VLC in the past but switched to the simple music player after having too many bugs and crashes with VLC on my phone.

One alternative are monadic types like result or maybe, that can contain either a value or an error/no value.

I recently spent some time optimizing a small Julia program I wrote that generates a lookup table of brainfuck constants. Because it only needs to run once, I originally didn't care about performance when I originally wrote it (and the optimization was mostly for fun).

I achieved an ~100x improvement by adding types, using static arrays and memoization. In the end, the performance was mostly limited by primitive math operations, I tried using multiple threads, but any synchronization destroyed the performance.

However, the most impressive thing was the ability of Julia to scale from dynamically typed scripting language to almost a compiled language with minimal changes to the code.

Yes, stablediffusion

Thanks, i hadn't heard oft Factor before, it looks interesting. I'm more of a LISP and FP Person but always wanted to properly learn a stack based language, Factor seems like a nice alternative to Forth for that purpose.

If you are looking for cheap storage, i recommend you check out diskprices.com . At least it helped me sometimes to find the disk with a low price per TB.

I like the default OSM carto style, however as an everyday map while walking I mostly use Streetcomplete (or sometimes everydoor) as I like the ability to make edits.

Maybe use segregated=true, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:segregated
